Foto-Friday: Saturday A few shots i have taken.

Metropolitan Cathedral~ Mexico City, Mexico
The night was clear, I looked up at the top of the cathedral and there was the moon.

This is the Historical Museum in Mexico City.
There are relics from Aztec, Maya and Olmec tribes in the museum.

This is a cup used in religious rituals. The tribes made some very good art. This picture is just strange and I like it.

This is a display case in the museum with arrow heads and decorated skulls. I believe they were found in the order on display.

This is a close up of the above photo.

I shot this on it's own. it has a shell in it's mouth,

By the time of the Spanish conquest in 1519, Tenochtitlan contained around 200,000 people and covered an area of five square miles. The city was crisscrossed by canals, and the edges of the island city were covered with chinampas, floating gardens. A huge market place served nearly 60,000 people daily, and in the Sacred Precinct of the city were palaces and temples the like of which Hernan Cortes had never seen. Cortes was awed; but it didn't stop him from destroying almost all of the city in his conquest.

This is an Aztec Book. I am glad I write in English.

These Indian folks hang out in front of the Museum and dance to traditional music. The costumes look more authentic than any I have ever seen. They are obviously hand beaded. They aren't made in China.
